Authorities intercept man trying to leave a day after dozens of dead tiger cubs found in Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua temple freezer

Wildlife authorities in Thailand have found adult tiger skins and fangs during a raid on the "tiger temple" tourist attraction, and intercepted a monk who was trying to leave in a car that was carrying skins.

Separately, officials said they would press charges against the Buddhist temple after 40 tiger cubs were found in a freezer on Wednesday.
